1831 N-12 R1 Large Letters PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous light chocolate brown and steel with faded mint red in protected areas, especially on the reverse where perhaps 10% of the surface shows mint color. The only marks are a small spot of slightly darker brown toning in the field right of star 3 and a light diagonal nick in the field between star 5 and the coronet, plus a faint vertical streak of darker toning down the neck from left of the ear lobe. Scarce M-LDS with a raised retained cud break that involves the lower two points of star 13 (Newcomb's #12/1). In addition there is a clear double profile from the tip of the coronet down to the bottom of the neck, plus doubling on stars 9-13 and on the cud break itself. This is a beautiful cent, a neat die state, and a great example of the "Double Profile" effect that comes from die bounce. Called MS60 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #21951. Our grade is MS63. The attribution and Naftzger-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 4 finer, 1 in 64+, 3 in 65 for the variety. PCGS #36988. Estimate Value $3,000 - UP
